I've been an IT professional for a very long time and if spinrite can't fix the drive, its time for a recovery service. I don't work at GRC - I just use the product. <BR/><BR/>I've used the live cd method as described in the post - however without fixing the issues, the copy method may not get all the data on the drive. So I would suggest that if you are faced with this problem, try to fix the drive so that you can copy off the data through the method of your choice, such as the one in this post.<BR/><BR/>TonyTonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13165694969895876223noreply@blogger.com
